Lights Valley Colonel Shiraz 2019 by Lights Valley in the Barossa Valley is a seriously impressive, high‑impact Barossa red – all polish and power in one sleek package. This Colonel Shiraz 2019 is sourced from low‑yielding Barossa vines and treated with kid gloves in the winery, resulting in opulent dark fruit depth and beautifully judged oak.

In the glass you’ll find saturated blackberry, black cherry and black olive wrapped in dark chocolate, subtle vanilla and warm spice, all carried by plush, chewy fruit. The palate is full‑bodied, concentrated and plush, with grainy–chalky tannins giving serious structure and a long, polished finish that screams classic Barossa Shiraz for collectors and lovers of big reds alike.

This Lights Valley Colonel Barossa Shiraz 2019 is made for rich food – think slow‑cooked beef ribs, char‑grilled Scotch fillet, lamb shoulder with rosemary, or aged cheddar and hard cheeses alongside a hearty winter stew. Give it a decent decant and you’ve got a show‑stopping dinner party wine or a luxurious weekend roast companion, with the stuffing to cellar for many years.
